Seeding of the 2017 crop has now completed in most areas of the province and the recent rain across the South was welcomed by producers. The moisture will assist with crop development, hay crops and pastures. Crop reporters for the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture also indicate that on-going wind has damaged crops and delayed in-crop weed control operations in many areas. Cutworms, flea beetles, localized flooding, hail and lack of moisture have also caused damage this past week.
